OptiBoard has an opportunity for a new main sponsor beginning immediately.

Started in 1995, OptiBoard has grown into the largest online site for eyecare professionals in the world. If you have an interest in becoming an OptiBoard sponsor, please let me know. Thanks, Steve

P.S. I have already turned down an online retailer as a sponsor. It would be nice if the eyecare industry would support OptiBoard as much as much as OptiBoard supports them.

"We recognize that an awful lot of people in the market are buying prescription eyewear because they have to, not because they want to," said McIntosh, president of Factory Optical and Optiks International.

"So we want to make it as pleasant as possible."

The Regina-based group of companies continued its expansion into Alberta and British Columbia with its newest Optiks International outlet, which opened Thursday in South Edmonton Common.

At 9,800 square feet, the company bills itself as "Canada's other largest optical store." (An older superstore in Calgary is "Canada's largest optical store.")

They have been operating for 40+ years I think, but only grew to 15000 sq.ft. a few years ago. They got a custom made Oakley wall display. Something like 400+ Oakley frames on display, 5000+ frames total. Pretty impressive.
